	Fly Fishing Dumfriesshire
		If you have ever spent a week looking at a river or loch where the chances of a fish seem to diminish rather than improve this might be the solution for you.
		Back on the river Annan and lochs for another session at pike in the day and sea trout in the evening or over to the border Esk if conditions are more favorable.
		Perhaps a try for the mullet that cruise the tidal areas of the upper Solway and Annan estuary Followed by Sea trout fishing or a try for the big own trout thats are to be found in the upper areas of the catchment.

	Dumfriesshire - LoveToKnow 1911
		The three longest rivers are the Nith, the Annan and the Esk, the basins of which form the great dales by which the county is cleft from north to south - Nithsdale, Annandale and Eskdale.
		From the confluence of the White Esk (rising near Ettrick Pen) and the Black Esk (rising near Jock's Shoulder, 1754 ft.) the Esk flows in a gradually south-easterly direction till it crosses the Border, whence it sweeps to the S.W. through the extreme north-western territory of Cumberland and falls into the Solway.
		Dumfriesshire is inseparably connected with the name of Robert Burns, who farmed at Ellisland on the Nith for three years, and spent the last five years of his life at Dumfries.

	History of the Burgh of Dumfries - Chapter I
		Dumfriesshire comprehends the districts of Nithsdale, Annandale, and Eskdale: which natural divisions nearly agree with the ancient jurisdictions that prevailed; the first having been governed as a sheriffship, the second as a stewartry, and the third as a regality.
		The Nith is the chief river of the County.
		The length of the Esk is nearly forty miles: part of its lower waters, meandering through the Debatable Land, constitutes a portion of the Western Border; and often, as we shall have to notice, its waves ran red with blood to the sea, owing to its boundary position between two hostile nations.

	Story
		The imposition of Rod Licences on the Scottish section of the River Esk is to be debated in Parliament this week.
		Dumfriesshire MP David Mundell has secured an adjournment debate on Thursday 11 May when he will raise local concerns about the conduct of the Environment Agency in introducing the licensing regime, and seek a solution whereby local anglers would not be required to pay the licence fee.
		I can not believe that it is right that Rod Licences should apply on the River Esk when they do not apply on any other river in Scotland.

	Story
		The Dumfriesshire MP was speaking after a Commons debate on a Parliamentary Order which allows the Scottish Executive to exclusively manage and regulate the River Tweed, even the portions of which are in England.
		The Draft Scotland Act 1998 (River Tweed) Order 2006 acts as a quid pro quo as the River Esk, sections of which are in Scotland, is controlled exclusively by the English Environment Agency.
		But as I pointed out in Parliament, this simply highlights the unsatisfactory situation on the Border Esk, where the Environment Agency has wreaked havoc by introducing rod licenses on the Scottish section of the river.

		On the Scottish side of the Esk were the Johnstones and Armstrongs and on the English the Graemes of Netherby all clans being alike wild and lawless.
		The Esk was "roaring red frae bank to brae" and it was generally feared that the new brig would be carried away.
		The river Esk gurgles along its rocky bed in the bottom of the dale separated from the kirkyard by a steep bank covered with natural wood while near at hand behind the manse stretch the fine woods of Wester Hall where Telford was often wont to roam.

		Speed also records that Solome Moss was to the west beside Arthuret Church and as he was drawing his maps within living memory of the Battle, it is safe to assume he was working from accurate information.
		Using Speed for the river course, the 1988 OS for the contours and the 1776 for some names, roads and other locations, it is possible to reconstruct a credibly accurate map of the district in 1542.
		The map clearly shows the road network and ground around Arthuret and taken in conjunction with Wharton's report shows that his detail is consistent with the reconstructed features and brings his strategies into much sharper focus.
